Albert Quixall 3,097 Posted Tuesday at 15:42 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 15:42 The Guardian is reporting that Gordon McQueen has been diagnosed with dementia. He joins a long list of great players from the past who are falling prey to that dreadful condition. Bobby Charlton has been diagnosed with it, Nobby Stiles died with dementia as did Martin Peters and Jeff Astle. Gordon was one of our best central defenders (how we could do with someone of his calibre today) who learned his trade under Don Revie at Leeds before signing for us along with Joe Jordan. I wish him well. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/feb/23/gordon-mcqueen-former-scotland-defender-diagnosed-with-dementia-leeds-manchester-united PVAD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robbo777 336 Posted Wednesday at 10:43 Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:43 Very Sad. Goliath of a man, had that 1982-83 team poster on my wall as a kid. That always sticks in my mind. Some serious no nonsense characters in there. PVAD, Albert Quixall and Mickey Mouse 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
